Did you buy narrower lug nuts for your Honda?
You'll need a set of conical lug nuts otherwise referred to as tuner lug nuts so they seat properly on the aftermarket wheels. OEM use ball seat lug nuts which won't seat properly on the aftermarket wheels this is what the shop is talking about and sent you out to buy Toyota thread pitch is 12x1.50 as you already know.mrct1944 wrote: ↑ Did you buy narrower lug nuts for your Honda?
I ordered a set of CRW GT1 Alloy wheels from CT for my 2021 RAV4 Hybrid XLE. Took them to Costco where I had ordered Blizzak winter tires but Costco said my Toyota lug nuts would not fit the new wheels. I needed "tuner lugs".
Back to Canadian Tire and after a lot of confusion, bought a White Knight Spline Wheel Lock Kit #77380FR, with a black extender. The package says "12mm-1.50", can anyone confirm this is the size I need?
Thanks!
Toyota already uses 60deg acorn cone lug nuts, so you should have been able to use the original ones. It's possible you need a narrowed lug nut for these wheels compared to the OEM though, the white knight ones will work.mrct1944 wrote: ↑ Did you buy narrower lug nuts for your Honda?

I have 2020 Highlander and same as @mrct1944, I bought Bridgestone Blizzak winter tires from Costco and found that their third-party wheel company C-Wheels has pretty bad reputation. So I bought 18x8 CRW GT1 wheels from Canadian tire that had 4.5/5 ratings.
After seeing this thread, I took out a lug nut and a wheel-lock nut from my highlander and checked how they fit into CRW wheel.
The wheel lock nut (Acorn) seem to fit-in perfectly in the narrow wheel lug-nut hole. But other 4 regular Toyota lug-nuts (also Acorn/Tapered) seem to be too wide and doesn't go in the lug-nut well.
To make things worse, the original Toyota lug-nut wrench is also too wide for the hole and cannot reach the nut.
So I also will need to buy a new set of lug nuts and extender socket.
